The sound of heavy gunshots, which started in the early morning, created fears among the civilians as some civilians fled the area for safety.

Reached by telephone, a resident from the area told Sudan Tribune that the sound of gunshots came from the bush which was a bit far from the northern part of the town.

“we were hearing heavy gunshots and I saw some people coming from that direction heading to the downtown,” said the resident

Also, a Maridi State government official who declined to be identified told Sudan Tribune that reports from the area speak about an attack carried out by the National Salvation Front forces led Thomas Cirilo (NAS-TC) on SPLA-IO forces who were preparing to work together with the Government forces (SSPDF) in the state.

The source accused the holdout rebel group of seeking to disturb the former rebel SPLA-IO and delaying their preparations which are part of the security arrangements.

However, there is no official statement about the security situation in the area.

NAS-TC recently denied carrying attacks on the signatories of the peace agreement and recalled its commitment to the cessation of hostilities agreement signed on 21 December 2017.

The source accused the holdout rebel group of seeking to disturb the former rebel SPLA-IO and delaying their preparations which are part of the security arrangements.

An official from the state government made those accusations, meaning jienge government is again pointing fingers at NAS-TC forces.General population in those areas are no longer trusting the government.Some are breaking away from prisons, while others run away from government controlled territories.The government in turn shoot them down.Those heavy gunshots are from the government.

Rhino Eastern
This is jienge ploy to implicate NAS. Our intelligent sources say, that units of SSDinka Forces attacked IO positions around 4 km outside Maridi on the Maridi-Yei road. The trick was to then blame NAS. All is jienge trash and luak propaganda.

Anthropologically speaking,jienges are known for being stuck at the furthest bottom of human civilization.Similarly so, are tailless gorillas and chimps we watch on National Geographic’s everyday.Your rightful position in human society has been long predestined by the laws of nature.Never assume what you can’t do.The proofs are on the ground.Just shut up, you chimp!

peace with all the criminals remaining in power?! Peace while your armed militias continue land grabbing and chasing non-Dinka communities from their homes?! You must be joking! There will never be peace without the total defeat of the Dinka hegemonic evil plan.

It’s good that you have come to an acceptance on how you have chased people from their land to the bushes. That’s worthy of noting and worthy of reporting. Don’t worry. We will get every piece of our land back.

Eastern
Don’t waste time with "nus bul jellaba" who even can’t retrace his genealogy. Our problem is not the SSDinka Forces, but Equatorian IOs who have sold their souls to jienges and nyagats and abandoned federalism. It’s our duty to retrench them or get rid of them altogether.

To the point comrade! We’ll never spare these greedy ’in between’ Equatorians too! See,history has proven that naive Equatorians like Joseph Lagu,Samson Kwaje,Eliaba Surur,S.Abu John and others only left Equatoria and its population blank and vulnerable to jienge predators and opportunists.The above mentioned politicians were good politicians but not good enough for the interests of.....

...Equatoria.They believed and invested in ’united South Sudan’.Unfortunately,John Garang stabbed them in the back!Given the fact that John Garang himself was influenced by none but our supreme truest son Aggrey Jaden!Therefore not this time!We’ll make sure that beloved Equatoria is liberated and secured for generations to come.He who squats in or confiscates our territories will die!

Those Equatorian politicians were nationalists. They believed in a democratic South Sudan devoid of tribalism and nepotism. The problem was that they were dealing with Jieng politicians who were harbouring medieval mentality. At present, South Sudan is going through the early stages of disintegration. It’s just a matter of time before every region or community gets what belongs to it.

Eastern, Rhino, Equatorian Koko etc
Jienges are exhausted and done. The war has wiped their entire youth who are beggars, refugees and criminals all over the world. They are now expecting IO to help them cuz most have cowardly run 🏃 to Uganda or Kenya

jubaone,
And other of trolls & losers, you are again chirping for a war like birds and if your bullsh*t is taken head on later then you pieces of twats would run to neighboring counties and then go and lie through your teeth that you’re being targeted by Dinkas/Jenges government>>>

simply because you’re Equatorians, really? Since when has Eqiatoria ever been an homogeneous region that the Dinkas/Jenges would stoop low to target you losers. You losers were complaining that government was not interested in peace. Now, the peace has been signed and here again you bunch of losers at it again. You want a war instead>>>

Good luck with that fellows. First of all look for a country that would be base to be launching against South Sudan from. Because, Uganda isn’t going to be your friend. DR Congo has had enough of lawless of her own next doo to you idiots in Equatorial since 1960the and by the way, DRC has>>>

a military agreement with South Sudan and South Sudan can just request DRC to enter their to go and you down losers anals. As for Central Africa republic (CAR). The government of South Sudan pretty much knows what to do fellows. As for your usual Omar Hassan Al Bashir hideout, don’t even think about it losers>>>

Our border with our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan is already armed to teeth if you losers don’t still know. And it would be an absolute suicide for you losers to contemplate ever trying that route. With our Abesh (so-called Ethiopia) route, that isn’t going to happen idiots>>>

With Kenyan’s border. Watch out fellows. Kenya’s government is on the crosshairs. The Kenyan government has been warned numerous times to stop hosting the evil British army in Nanyuki and Laikipia because they have been the ones who used ferry logistics to Risk Machar>>>

And Dabid Yau Yau aimless armed rebellion here in my former home state of Jonglei. Besides, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta was courted by the evils from the US, the UK, their UN, their NGOS & their evil juus (so-called Israel). To let the so-called former detainees (FDs)>>>

Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta and overloads in the US, the UK, their UN, their sleazy NGOs & their evil juus (so-called) went and used these so-called former detainees as their bargaining chips, blackmails or leverage over our country and peoples. Kenya must be extra careful>>>

This South Sudan and South Sudan is not Eastern DR Congo, where every trash around the would always try to it long nose into. A lot of bloody here in South Sudan fellows. Really, what does a country like Kenya even thinks it is to South Sudan?>>>

This South Sudan and South Sudan is not Eastern DR Congo, where every trash around the would always try to it long nose into. A lot of bloody here in South Sudan fellows. Really, what does a country like Kenya even thinks it is to South Sudan?>>>

When we always tell most of lowly informed South Sudanese fools that our country & our people are being Geopolitical football or chess game played by our enemies from the US, the UK, their UN, their sleazy NGOs, their evils juus (so-called Israelis) and some of their proxy countries here in our region>>>

Some of lowly informed fools. South Sudan is not part of the so-called damned ANGLO-AMERICA, never has & will never will
And South Sudanese people have never been evil ANGLO-AMERICA empire subjects or slaves, never has and will never will fellows>>>

Mr. jubaone,
I am the one who will bomb North Sudan and Eastern Jerusalem. And l know all cheap and dirty intrigues that are being g toyed over our country and people by some evils we are going to bomb to near oblivion once and for all. Reasons, HATRED & RACISM>>>>

That South Sudan must be played like then East & West Germany during the so-called COLD WAR and the evils think, that they be lucky to ’re-unite our country with their cloned so-called arab North Sudan and then the evils would then run to countries and go & write lies that their so-called ’capitalism has trumps over their so-called communism or socialism’ fellows, the evils can dream, dreaming is

Not a crime. In fact, there will be no evil white Americans, English people, their cloned Arabs of North Sudan, their evil juus (so-called Israelis), their Abeshas (so-called Ethiopians) prostitutes, Djiboutians, their gulf Arab state financiers, their UN & their sleazy NGOs>>>

Mr. jubaone,
You fools and your foreign masters think, you can make our our country like Eastern DR Congo, be very careful losers. Your masters are going to be wiped out of map once and for all. Mr.jubaone and losers, South Sudan is a Dinkas/ Monyjieng of the Sudan country including even North Sudan and we are going to settle our scores with our enemies once and for all. Reasons, pure HATRED & RAC

And RACISM. We have have found out that the evils working the UN, their sleazy NGOs, the US, the UK agents and some of their creepy allies in between here in our own region as their fools through their puppets/stooges like Mr. Riek Machar, Lam Akol, Adwok & their new recruits like Mr. Pagan uom, Majak Agoot, Uyai Deng Ajak, Rebecca Nyandeng, her ugly son, Thomas Cirillo and other bunch of foreign

Pakuai,
You cant get your jienge mouth full? All fugitive jienges and nyagats are submissvely returning to Juba instead of their luaks in the hope, "oil money" will drip straight into their gaping mouths. Cuz of your lunatic rants and undisciplined attitude, you were thrown out of the SPLA. But you could be of help to your less educated and jienge numbskulls in the govt. who need ur help.

Why go that far to bomb Jerusalem? why don’t you bomb Abyei, Panthou (Heglig), and mile 14 to free your folks from slavery? Your coward, drunkard, and good for nothing "President" cowed when President OB sent his forces to face the SPLA in Panthou. Kiir retreated swiftly with his "tail between his legs". He has relinquished Panthou to Sudan and signed to pay all

...the damages for "occupying" Panthou. It’s unbelievable that Kiir has agreed to pay Sudan damages for gaining control over a territory which is indisputably a part of South Sudan! Is there any cowardice beyond this?! By the way, they are called Jews and not Juus as you ignorantly call them.

Panthou (Heglig), Abyei of Ngok ’tung diak’ right up to our All Khartoum and beyond. But you bunch of foreign puppets and traitors have and always our snag to take our still occupied lands by our enemies back>>>

Let me Mr. Lako fool. Your Mundaris were armed pretty good by SPLM/A in the division of "Intifhada/uprising" in Jebel Bong, Gamella region and they were told to take a lead to capture their own Roukon town, they cowered and surrendered themselves in>>>

to our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan. My own father was from Katiba Raad, Koryom division was killed due our Mundaris treason and cowardice. Mr. Lako little boy go and us your gods chap. We are going to bombour masters out of South Sudan, North Sudan and other we don’t want anything that is connected>>>

to evil white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called Arabs of North Sudan), their gulf Arab States paasters, their evil juus (so-called Israelis), so-called Ethiopians (Abeshas), Bantus in central Kenya and their UN, NHOs & some of their evil in between out of our country & over our people once and for all>>>

I don’t know whom you meant by Mr Lako, but you could call with any name originating from Equatoria, it’s all the same to me. The SPLA was on the brink of total defeat in from 1992 to 2002 if not for the Equatorians. Arok Thon Arok was telling his masters in Khartoum that the Equatorians were the ones keeping Garang and the SPLA alive. And even in this war if not fo

The UPDF, the opposition would have blown your regime away in 2014. The video clip that showed how your Generals fled the battlefield near Bor town is still in our minds. The BBC reporter even ridiculed the SPLA.

Equatoria Koko, Eastern Rhino, Jongo,
We may do all what it takes, the jienge is incorrigible. Like their criminal, killing, stealing and lying fathers, so are their sons who have attained terrible reputation as gangs, thugs and worthless criminals in USA, Australia, Canada, kenya etc..http://crg.aic.gov.au/reports/1415/38-0809-FinalReport.pdf

By the way. Mr. Arok Thon Arok here in Jonglei boys from schools were the ones who died from thirty from ’Tingle and Awicbul’ from Zindia battalion. These boys were the boys schools and they didn’t die for nothing. Fellows, people who challenge South Sudan are very very few>>>

Mr. Koko,
Sorry for that chap, I thought you were just those bunch Equatorian fools who play games with the South Sudanese good names on this web site 24/7 on behalf of their foreign masters. Mr. Koko, read Margret Ogolla book; "the River and the Source" it is a very good read. But not good like ’the tales of the tales two cities, by Charles Dickens>>.

There is a translated book into ’Swahili written by an English boy, George Orwell
"Shamba LA wanyama (animals farm" All animals are equal, but there some animals who are more equal than others. Fellows, we are equivalent to Bantus of Kenya>>>

Pardon me fellows. "There are animals who are equal than others" South Sudanese are not equal with Bamtus in Central Kenya, Abesha (so-called ethiopia), the evil juus (so-called israel), our cloned so- Arabs of North Sudan, Saudi Arabia, El Qada. ISIS/L, evil juud (so-called Israelis) and other bunch of evils that we are going to walkover and pee>>>

You must be either a stinky jienge skunk disguising himself under a noble name or one of the many jienge bastards aimlessly loitering around in Equatoria!Call yourself ’Ajam Ajoh Aluk’,that fits you better, ya ’Ariyan jienge Abid’What a dumb idiot, shut up!
